A robust serif with pronounced flaring where strokes meet the terminals, giving many letters a subtly wedged, sculpted finish. The design is low-contrast and largely round in its bowls, with smooth curves and ample counters that keep the heavy color from feeling cramped. Serifs are short and integrated, often appearing as tapered, outward-fanning endings rather than flat slabs, and joins feel slightly softened rather than razor-sharp. Overall proportions are steady and readable, with straightforward, upright construction and a rhythmic, confident texture in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, posters, and packaging where a dense, confident serif texture is an asset. It can also work for editorial or brand typography when set at sizes large enough to showcase the flared terminals and maintain comfortable spacing.
The font conveys a grounded, approachable authority—classic enough for editorial use but with a warm, slightly playful energy from its flared terminals and rounded forms. Its heavy presence reads as dependable and bold in tone without becoming severe or formal.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif readability with a more contemporary, sculpted stroke ending, using flared terminals to add character and emphasis. It aims for strong impact and legibility while preserving an inviting, human tone.
Capitals present a strong, even silhouette suited to headings, while lowercase forms maintain clarity through open apertures and generous interior space. Numerals match the weight and roundness of the letters, helping mixed text retain an even visual color in display settings.
